Cronbach\u2019s alpha values for the six dimensions ranged from 0.82 to 0.93. Rasch analysis demonstrated acceptable infit and outfit values for all items, with item thresholds correctly oriented. Key findings highlighted significant disparities in healthcare access, particularly among participants with low income and no insurance coverage.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The Arabic PAHSQ is a reliable and valid tool for assessing healthcare access among Arabic-speaking populations. Its use can inform targeted interventions, guide resource allocation, and support health equity initiatives.
